Definitions

  • the present invention relates to field devices for use in industrial processes. More specifically, the present invention relates to transmitters used to transmit process variables to monitor or control such an industrial process.
  • electronic field devices are used to monitor the operation of industrial processes such as those in oil refineries, chemical processing plants, paper processing plants, biotechnology plants, pharmaceutical plants, food and beverage plants, and the like.
  • Process transmitters for monitoring an industrial process may measure pressure, flow rate, fluid or material level in a tank, temperature, vibration, and the like.
  • field devices may include analytical electronics, diagnostic electronics, or other process monitoring electronic devices, or even electronic, hydraulic or pneumatic actuator devices used for industrial process control.
  • Process transmitters are typically positioned within the processing plant in locations where liquids, dust and humidity and various industrial contaminants may be present.
  • process liquids such as acid solutions or base solutions can be present.
  • Liquids may also include spray from hoses used to clean plant equipment. Liquids can drip, splash or spray onto the process transmitter and its electrical connections. Additionally, dust, humidity, and liquids in the environment may contaminate and degrade the electrical connections to and within the process transmitter.
  • the transmitter housing In order to protect circuitry within the transmitter, the transmitter housing typically provides a seal against the local environment. This seal can be configured to meet explosive protection standards in order to reduce the likelihood of ignition of combustible materials.
  • One transmitter configuration which illustrates an internal barrier is shown and described in U.S. Patent No. 6,089,097, issued July 18, 2000 to Frick et al.
  • the present invention provides an overpressure vent in a sealed transmitter housing of a process transmitter.
  • a transmitter is provided for coupling to an industrial process and measuring a process variable.
  • the transmitter includes an enclosure having a cavity formed therein.
  • a process coupling is configured to couple the cavity to the industrial process.
  • An overpressure vent is arranged to vent an overpressure in the cavity to outside of the transmitter enclosure.
  • Process transmitters are used in industrial processes for coupling to the process and measuring a process variable.
  • Example process variables include pressure, temperature, flow rate, etc.
  • Process transmitters typically include a sealed transmitter housing or enclosure which carries a sensor and circuitry of the process transmitter.
  • a bulkhead is used to divide a cavity of the transmitter enclosure into a first cavity and a second cavity.
  • Such a configuration is described in co-pending application serial no. 10/942,340 entitled “Field Assembly Incorporating Circuit Card Assembly as Environmental and EMI/RFI Shield” by Kelly M. Orth and Chad M. McGuire, filed September 16, 2004 and commonly assigned with the present application.
  • the bulkhead can be configured to provide a seal between the first and second cavities.
  • a component in the transmitter fails and allows process pressure to be applied directly to one of the cavities, it may be possible for the process pressure to cross the bulkhead seal and enter the second cavity. Such an occurrence may be undesirable, for example, if the second cavity contains additional circuits.
  • the present invention provides an overpressure vent in the first cavity which is arranged to vent an overpressure in the first cavity to outside of the transmitter enclosure. This reduces the pressure applied to the bulkhead seal and thereby reduces the likelihood that the process pressure is able to breach the bulkhead seal and enter into the second cavity.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a simplified diagram of a process transmitter system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Process transmitter 102 is coupled to process pipe segment 104 in order to measure a parameter or process variable associated with a fluid contained within the process pipe segment 104.
  • the transmitter 102 is coupled to control center 106 via a field wiring 108.
  • field wiring includes both power/ground cabling and a communications link.
  • the field wiring 108 may include two or more wires.
  • the field wiring 108 provides power and ground connections, but communication between the transmitter 102 and the control center 106 occurs via wireless communications link (not shown).
  • field wiring 108 comprises a two wire process control loop of the type which is known in the art.
  • Example process control loops include those which communicate using a 4-20 mA signal, or communicate using digital protocols including, for example, HART ® communication protocol, a Field Bus protocol, etc.
  • circuitry within the transmitter can be completely powered with power received over the two wire process control loop.
  • transmitter 102 includes a housing 110 with a cover 112.
  • the housing 110 is coupled to the pipe segment 104 via a sealed base or process coupling 114, which may couple to a coupling flange or other attachment mechanism provided by a customer for a specific installation.
  • a wiring conduit 116 is provided on the housing body 110 to provide an access opening for the field wiring 108 to enter the housing 110 for connecting electronics within the transmitter housing 110 to the control center 106.
  • FIG. 2 is a side cross sectional view of process transmitter 102 showing an example simplified embodiment of the present invention.
  • Transmitter 102 includes generally a transmitter housing 112 forming a cavity 142 therein.
  • a bulkhead 144 is positioned in the cavity 142 and divides the cavity 142 into a first cavity 146 and a second cavity 148. Bulkhead 144 provides a seal between cavities 146 and 148.
  • the first cavity 146 is configured to couple to an industrial process to receive a process pressure at process coupling 114.
  • a process variable sensor 150 and sensor electronics 152 are positioned within first cavity 146.
  • Sensor 150 can be, for example, a pressure sensor configured to receive the process pressure and provide an electrical output to sensor electronics 152 related to the sensor pressure.
  • Measurement circuitry 156 is positioned within a second cavity 148 and is configured to provide an output on process control loop 108 related to the sensed pressure.
  • bulkhead 144 comprises an electric circuit board configured to carry measurement circuitry 156. Example configurations of bulkhead 144 are discussed in co-pending application serial no. 10/942,340 entitled "Field Assembly Incorporating Circuit Card Assembly as Environmental and EMI/RFI Shield" by Kelly M. Orth and Chad M. McGuire, filed September 16, 2004.
  • an overpressure vent 160 is arranged in the first cavity 146 and transmitter housing 112 to extend between cavity 146 and outside of housing 112.
  • Overpressure vent 160 is configured to couple cavity 146 with the environment outside of transmitter housing 112 if a difference between the pressure within cavity 146 and the ambient pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold.
  • the predetermined threshold can be selected to be less than a pressure in cavity 146 which could cause the seal provided by barrier 144 to fail.
  • Figure 3 is a side cross sectional view of process transmitter 102 in somewhat greater detail than that of Figure 2 .
  • the bulkhead 144 is illustrated as also carrying measurement circuitry 156.
  • a terminal block 162 couples to the measurement circuitry 156 and carries terminals 164 thereon. Terminals 164 are used to couple the measurement circuitry 156 to a process control loop 108.
  • a seal 170 is illustrated in Figure 3 which is configured to seal the bulkhead 144 between cavities 146 and 148.
  • the sealing technique can be any appropriate technique or method to seal the bulkhead or to provide a seal with the bulkhead between cavities 146 and 148.
  • a vent tube 172 is illustrated as coupling sensor 150 to overpressure vent 160.
  • overpressure vent 160 provides two functions: normal venting of sensor 150 as well as overpressure venting of cavity 146.
  • Pressure sensor 150 is coupled to process fluid through a primary seal 174.
  • the primary seal can comprise, for example, an isolation diaphragm with process fluid on one side and isolation fluid 176 carried in capillary tubing 178 on the other side. As a pressure is applied to the diaphragm, the pressure is transferred to the isolation fluid 176 and to the pressure sensor 150.
  • a process interface 180 such as a manifold or the like is used to couple process coupling 114 to industrial process. For example, the manifold can be used to couple the transmitter 102 to process piping.
  • overpressure vent 160 introduces two flame paths 182A. and 182B into cavity 146.
  • One of the flame paths 182B is provided through the vent itself while the other flame path 182A is introduced where the vent 160 couples to the housing 112.
  • the flame paths 182A and 182B must be configured to meet any flameproof requirements for a particular installation.
  • Figure 4A and 4B are side cross sectional views of the overpressure vent 160.
  • valve 160 is shown during normal operation while in Figure 4B valve 160 is shown while venting an overpressure.
  • Overpressure vent 160 comprises a center insert 184 which extends through housing 112 which is secured by cowling 186.
  • a sealing coupling 188 couples vent tube 172 to the overpressure vent 160.
  • Flame path 182B comprises an opening through an insert 184 which can be sealed to coupling 188 using an appropriate technique such as sintering. Flame path 182A between insert 184 and housing 112 can also be sealed using any appropriate technique.
  • insert 184 can be screwed into a threaded opening in housing 112.
  • a vent cover 190 is configured to prevent opening 182B from being clogged or otherwise blocked and to reduce the effects of direct impingement of a water jet during cleaning processes.
  • vent tube 172 is configured to vent the sensor 150 shown in Figure 3 to the environment through opening 182B.
  • an opening 191 is formed between vent tube 172 and coupling 188 as illustrated in Figure 4B .
  • This allows a venting path 192 to be formed from first cavity 146 to the environment through opening 182B.
  • the overpressure at which venting path 192 is formed can be controlled by controlling the strength of the seal between the vent tube 172 and coupling 188.
  • the overpressure vent 160 can vent overpressure occurrences that occur more than once. However, in another configuration, once an overpressure occurs and the overpressure is vented, the overpressure vent 160 remains open between the first cavity 146 and the environment.
  • a sensor 194 is provided which couples to, for example, measurement circuitry 156 and provides an output signal which is indicative of the status or condition of overpressure vent 160.
  • a signal can be provided to indicate that the overpressure vent 160 is open between the first cavity 146 and the environment, or that the vent has been previously opened. This information can be transmitted over the process control loop 108 to inform an operator that maintenance is required. This also can provide a warning to indicate that process fluid is being vented to the environment.
  • the overpressure vent 160 can be formed of any appropriate materials.
  • the vent tube 172 can be formed of nonmetallic tubing configured to bend or otherwise be compressed upon the occurrence of overpressure.
  • the overpressure vent can comprise any vent configuration as not limited to the specific configuration described above.
  • Another example configuration is, for example, a ball and spring check valve.
  • the overpressure vent is configured to meet any flame proof or explosion proof requirements for particular installation.
